It was 10:30 at night, and both Fernando and Antoncel had woken up. Ever since coming to, witnessing the corpses on the ship and listening to Gao Yang's account of the situation, they were both consumed with shock and rage.
Farah told them everything he knew: the ship still needed to sail for twelve hours before reaching land, and it was impossible for Gao Yang and his team to catch up to the pirate ship that was escorting the crew members. In order to deliver the hostages to shore as quickly as possible, both fishing boats were moving at full speed.
According to the agreement, the first mate would lead his associates and take the ship toward land. Although there were no ports to dock at and it was impossible for the large cargo vessel to get close to the shore, it was still feasible to enter within twelve nautical miles of the coast, and then they would be within Somalia's territorial waters.
